I have Gchat, so there's a little icon in my taskbar that shows when my personal Gmail account has a new message. So I check it then

I'd go with the 4-5. I usually check it about twice in the morning and twice in the afternoon.

I dont know why, because I almost never get emails to my personal account, but it's more of a habitual thing than a necessity.

*almost never get emails to personal account during the day!

Every. 3. Seconds.

Depends. If I'm in receipt of an important email then I'll check it a few times a day until I get it. If not, once a day.

Usually around 5-6 times a day.

My company blocks all outside email providers.

well i have the window up all day but i don't usually check it unless i get an 'alert' that i have a few new emails in my inbox

I'm addicted. Glad to hear that others are as well

Once in the morning and once in the afternoon. Maybe a third time after work. I try to restrict my e-mail-checking to try and actually get some work done. My job is very goal and numbers oriented so I always got to sacrifice some Internet usage.

approximately 1 million

The firewalls at work will not allow me to check personal email.

Every other second!

I check about 2 to 3 times daily on the job's computer but I have the internet on the sidekick so I check more often on that.

A few times a day. Depends how busy I am and if the big boss is here. lol.

At my current job, never. I don't have internet access, it's a restaurant. At my old job, I was signed in almost all the time.

Once or twice, only. Most people just use my work email these days since it's easier to get ahold of me.

Never. They've blocked all internet email services, because they're worried people will download harmful files.

i check it compulsively like a million times a day. i have a second job in promotions. the booking relies completely on emails. so if i dont check my personal email i can't work my promotions job...i need a blackberry !

Im signed in all day. But I have very little work to do, so my boss understands. And my beau finds it good for his stress levels to keep in touch.

Too much, lol.

way too much ...

I'm signed in all day, but I keep it in an IE tab so I check it only when I see there's an email. And when I have time to check my emails, too - when I have work to do I don't even think about it.

3 million..I work at the University I graduated from, so my email stayed the same, so I get my work/personal emails from the same place

I only check it once a day when I'm on break. But I leave my Outlook email for work stuff open all the time in case I get anything important.

Just once or twice, if a friend needs to contact me they usually ping me on MSN or Skype.

These days my personal email box might as well be renamed spam-trap.

I work for a county government where employees get fired for going online for personal use. So, no. Never.

I configured my personal AOL email to run through Outlook

I never use to for the past 2 years, but lately I have been checking my email a few times a day. It helps sitting next to IT.
